The two assailants knocked the victim to the ground. One suspect struck the victim with a yellow crowbar, police said. The men appeared to be after the victim's backpack.
That's when four workers from a nearby UPS Store jumped into action, rushing over to help the victim.
After the UPS workers intervened, the two attackers ran off, jumped into an awaiting white sedan and fled the scene.
